Short Message Service (“SMS”) Terms
TailSafe, also known as TailSafe, LLC is offering a mobile messaging program (the “Program”), which you agree to use and participate in subject to these SMS Messaging Terms (“Program Terms”). These Program Terms are limited to the Program and are not intended to modify other agreements or terms and conditions that may govern the relationship between you and TailSafe. Under the Program, your opt-in consent data, your mobile telephone number, and you personnel information will not be shared or sold with any third party. For more information on how TailSafe protects your privacy, please visit our Privacy Policy.
A. User Agreement to Receive Text Messages
You agree to receive SMS mobile messages from TailSafe at the phone number you provided when you signed up for your subscription, and any additional or updated phone number you provide as a contact number in connection with your registration with TailSafe. Regardless of how you joined the Program, you agree that these Program Terms apply to your participation in the Program. You agree to receive autodialed, prerecorded, or predetermined mobile messages at the phone number associated with your registration, and you understand that your consent to receive these messages is not required to make any purchase. These messages will include information on how to manage your registration and may include special offers and other promotional content. While you consent to receive messages sent using an autodialer, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of the mobile messages you receive from TailSafe are sent using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS” or “autodialer”). Message Frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
B. User Opt Out
If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to these Program Terms, you agree to reply STOP to any mobile message from TailSafe in order to opt out of the Program. You also may email TailSafe with your phone number and the registration for which you wish to opt out of the Program at hello@tailsafe.app. You may continue to receive SMS messages while we process your request, and you may receive a mobile message confirming your decision to opt out. You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out of the Program. You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those set forth above or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list, is not a reasonable means of opting out.
C. Duty to Notify and Indemnify
If at any time you intend to stop using the mobile telephone number that has been used to subscribe to the Program, including canceling your service plan or selling or transferring the phone number to another party, you agree that you will complete the User Opt Out process set forth above prior to ending your use of the mobile telephone number. You understand and agree that your agreement to do so is a material part of these terms and conditions. You further agree that, if you discontinue the use of your mobile telephone number without notifying TailSafe of such change, you agree that you will be responsible for all costs (including attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by TailSafe or any party that assists in the delivery of the mobile messages, as a result of claims brought by individual(s) who are later assigned that mobile telephone number. This duty and agreement shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD TAILSAFE HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH YOUR DUTY TO NOTIFY TAILSAFE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY UNDER THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., OR SIMILAR STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS, AND ANY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER RESULTING FROM US ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT YOU AT THE MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU PROVIDED.
